I am not running the under hood tray because I have been to fucking lazy to modify it. On warm days I can see the heat spewing out of the vent while sitting at traffic lights or when parked. I just recently bought an AP. Right now, it is about 40 degrees outside and on my drive home, my IAT's are showing between 46-56 and my BAT's are running about 72-105 depending on how many traffic lights I hit. I have a feeling that I am getting a lot of heat soak due to no under hood tray. This spring I plan on installing the tray and upgrading my TMIC. Here is what it looks like on a stock appearance black gen1. It will look better when I add a front lip and lower it. Attachment 92380
